Subject: [PATCH 1/1] irq/matrix: Fix memory overallocation

IRQ_MATRIX_SIZE is the number of longs needed for a bitmap,
multiplied by the size of a long, yielding a byte count. But
it is used as the size of an array of longs, which is way more
memory than is needed.  Change IRQ_MATRIX_SIZE so it is just the
number of longs needed and the arrays come out the correct size.
